学霸学习提醒

一、课本是最好的老师。

要注重基础，反复研读课本，巩固基础知识。

二、要养成良好的学习习惯。

良好的学习习惯是高效率掌握知识的保障。

三、要保持良好的学习状态，自信踏实，刻苦努力，以饱满的精神迎接新一天的挑战。

四、课堂上：

专心听讲是第一位。

事实证明，自以为是的确是不好的习惯。

同样的例题，自己看懂与听老师讲懂是完全不同的两种效果。

五、建议同学们在课外多投入些时间做题，并且要从心里重视数学。

还应该准备一个错题本，老老实实地将每次错过的题抄在上面，并写上正确的解题思路，变不懂为精通。

特别提醒：

请学习稍差的同学一定不要放弃，哪怕到最后一学期，也不能放弃。

只要按照老师说的去做，只要塌实地付出了，就一定会有奇迹出现。

永远不要放弃拼搏，因为奇迹只发生在相信奇迹存在的人身上
